Project 98se Lan Party Started February 9th, 2018. Updated February 17th, 2018The goal is to have 8 computers set up for a lan party, on easter long weekend.

We set a budget of $100 cad. We've spent $30.40 so far.$10 for 9 sticks of PC133, 3 ps2 mouses, 11 ps2 Keyboards$11.50 for P4 Computer$4.30 for 2032 batteries for cmos$1.15 for 3 cpu fans$3.45 for a 5 port switchEverything else we either had on hand, has been traded for or donated. Either by friends, family or local business with warehouses full of obsolete tech.PDF below will be update with our resources on hand.

Status February 17th 2018:We have 6 computers installed with windows 98se. Finished installing most drivers on the 6. One is suffering from thermal issues. Time to up our game and perhaps get some new silver heat sink compound and new-er fans.

The other two we have determined to have mobo issues or are so specialized, its not worth the effort to repair. I'm looking at you, early Compaq p3 computer.

Status February 27th 2018:Had a couple hours to install drivers on the 6 computers last night. Directx 8.1 to the rescue. One of the hdd's ended up having an error. Then I proceeded to connect one up to my 42" TV to the computer. I'm also looking forward to putting the adapter in to allow me to convert the image to my 27" CRT. So that will need replacing. Later, a distraction happened, with a couple games of Red Alert 95.

I forgot how much I enjoyed the 95 version. 60 helicopters can do a lot of damaged in a short time frame.
